I SO badly wanted to take part today but I will not be able to make it. Have fun everyone!

When you're sitting on a beach in a car with the paint dried up Glad you finally got it! :)

Actually, I believe there is one G :)

If things are cancelled and I am able to take part, 2pm EST would work great for me, thank you!

Not to sound inappropriate but... I didn't so much mind his undersized shirt for the AHFOD concerts I went to... when he lifted his arms (which was often) he showed off his midsection which I found very enjoyable, hehehe :D

@I ran away I really appreciate you reaching out and asking but the only date that might work for me is the 14th--we have weather-dependent events happening all day and won't know until the night before if things are cancelled (there are chances of thunderstorms so they may be). So, if you choose the 14th I might be able to take part but I hate to put in an official yes since I am still not sure. Choose what works best for the majority. Thanks!

@I ran away Best choice of lyrics ever!! :heart::heart::heart:

I totally agree. @Gsilva , @Zero Theory is absolutely right on. A magical experience! I fell in love with Coldplay at the age of 18. I know exactly where I was (in my best friend's older brother's car), what I was wearing, what my best friend's brother said to me before putting on the Parachutes CD which was just released a few months prior. He said this (and excuse the swear word but it's truth): "You've got to listen to this new British band I've been listening to, they are fucking righteous". This was my first time ever hearing Coldplay. I was mesmerized. And then the 5th song (Yellow) came on and I was totally beside myself. The most beautiful song I had ever heard, instantly became my favorite song by any band of all time, and that remains unchanged. Anyway, the reason I typed the above info is because, despite being such a huge fan, I did not get to see them live until last August--nearly 17 years after the first time I heard them and fell in love with their amazing artistry. It wasn't intentional of course--every time they had gone on tour before I saw them last year, I had huge life events that coincided with them coming around to my area. Being in college and broke and no vehicle to get me there (ROBTTH tour), then getting married closely followed by my maid of honor losing her baby due to a horrible case of pre-eclampsia followed closely by gaining two gorgeous little sisters (my dad and step-mom adopted them from Russia) and helping them learn English and adapt to life with their new family (this all happened around the Twisted Logic tour--my sisters arrived literally a few days before Coldplay was coming close to me), and my family and best friend needed me and I wouldn't leave their side for even a minute. Then the VLV tour and them coming to the arena really close to me happened literally days after we brought our first child home from the hospital. He had been in the hospital for 3.5 months and came home on oxygen, a sleep apnea monitor, and had many medical needs. I could not leave him for a night. Mylo Xyloto would have been more do-able for me but the closest they came to us was 6 hours away and we were in the middle of moving. Our closing date on our new house was only 2 days after the concert date we were looking at. With that on the horizon and two young kiddos, it just wasn't do-able. Soooooooooo.......that brings us to the AHFOD tour. My husband bought me tickets for my birthday, which was 8 months prior to seeing them. I literally leaped out of bed every morning for those 8 months because it was one day closer to seeing my beloved band. Every time I ran last summer, Coldplay was blasting in my ear (literally listened to nothing else). Needless to say, once the day finally came it felt like a dream and when that opening "a wonderful adventure, a wonderful adventure" came on, I literally started bawling. Then after they did AHFOD and Yellow came on, I started bawling even harder! Literally the best moment of my entire life (well, getting married and having my 3 kids is right up there, too :)). My husband had to practically hold me up I was crying so hard and by the end of the song his shirt was soaked, haha! I cried through most of the concert, I was just beside myself with emotion because I had wanted to see them for. so. long. Nearly half my life! So for about 3/4 of the concert I was watching through majorly watery puffy eyes. Luckily they were in Omaha only 2 days later and my wonderful husband was like "we have to do this" and we saw them in Omaha too. And had even better tickets for Omaha. We have been married for 12 years and we agree that those two days were two of the absolute most awesome days of our marriage together. Point is, @Gsilva , the first time you see them it will be an absolutely unbelievably perfect experience. Be it several years like me, or if you get to see them next go-around, you will be blown away!! PS: Sorry this is so long, I can go on and on about my love for Coldplay, as I am sure most everyone on here could easily do :)

Politik I listened to it on a loop yesterday as I ran 4 miles in 25 mph winds/26 deg temps (which is abnormally cold for this time of year here). The winds seemed to beat me in the face from every direction but the south and I literally blasted Politik over and over again in my ear to get me to finish. Thank goodness for Coldplay otherwise I'd probably be in horrible shape :grinning:
